Anyone fancy a (Bank Holiday) challenge III?

[Going Underground]

I am on holiday all that week so would be up for a challenge.... R15 would get my vote if possible.... Around a 1pm start would be good then back to the pub for darts....

and maybe the odd beer or two

Not sure about Monday 25th - could do this Saturday though.

is the monday 25th a bank holiday then i do have an alphabet route i was going to try but havent got round to it yet.

I'm on the way back from Reading festival that day, so will be hindered by a weekend of debauchery, a large backpack, and a rotten hangover.

However the smell may be useful in getting me space on the tube.

Afriad I will be holiday in sunny Dorset from the 23rd for one week. So I will rule myself out of this one.

re change ur mind about sunny dorset it hasnt been too good this week.

The obvious one to combine a challenge and the BH requirement to drink is ofc the Alphabet (Alcohol) Challenge...

[palkanetoijala31]

i predict we can do it in 12 hours easy peasy.

Its very definatley possible with an 11am start at an A
Time starts when you start drinking, so the first barman can be slow

well as discussed with matt we might try the alphabet or drinking alphabet as long as numbers are few if not we try smaller challenges.here is my route for the alphabet should anyone want to comment on

angel
belsize park
chalk farm run/bus to swiss cottage
dollis hill
finchley rd
farringdon passing through euston square

If you take 5.5 hours for the actual challenge then that would leave about 18 minutes at each station to leave the station, walk to the pub, order drinks, drink them, walk back to the station and wait for a train.

I think in order to complete the challenge a fairly small group would be best otherwise a lot of time would be lost ordering drinks and waiting for stragglers.

Trust me the Alphabet record is a very tough nut to crack.... But if that is the suggestion then I am up for it......

As we will have different routes could I suggest a 1200hrs meet at Argyll Street outside Oxford Circus tube then we can all head off to our starting "A" station.......

All back to the usual pub for a few ales 'n' darts......

[Going Underground]

Whatever you think, it's your baby........ will leave you to do an "official" type post at the end of the week........

[Going Underground]

No worries I don't mind if we do something shorter.......

More time for darts & ale......

If possible would like to know what we are doing for sure by Saturday though........

[greatkingrat]

I should be able to come along for this on Monday. An Alphabet challenge is fine by me.
